We were without power from 3am Monday until noon today, Wednesday. Had folded up some gyoza Sunday night and resorted to this on Monday:

How cold is it in your house with no electricity and freezing temps? As a Michigander I usually just laugh when the south sees winter for the first time in a decade but usually it’s just morons in cars.

Nice setup! Hope you’re staying warm.

I’m going to make dumplings this weekend, any tips? I am going to make the dough / wrappers from scratch instead of buying the wrappers.

we're in a mid 50's house with single pane windows. guessing the inside temps got into the high 40s/low 50s away from the living room where the fireplace is (i.e. the bedroom). i now realize why sleeping caps, or night caps, were a thing. slept a couple of nights wearing a touque to keep the bald spot warm.

wise words from a man who has made multiple thousands of dumplings/pierogi in his life.

Thanks. Yes, to the right of the Thai chilis is ginger, and behind that is garlic. The other bowl you’re asking about is crushed peppercorn and extra hot chili powder. The pinch bowl below the bell peppers has Kashmiri chili powder, as well.

Hey! I’m mincin’ over here!

Shredded chicken tacos with homemade salsa verde, homemade pico de gallo, homemade shells, crema Mexicana with a bit of lime, and cotija cheese. I also made fresh guacamole with pepitas, but I put it in the fridge while I was cooking, and forgot to put it on the finished product.

Highland Park is its own city btw but I dont know if that makes a difference.

According to this article:

Quote:

She said ONCOR has received reports from customers outside of Highland Park saying that they believe Highland Park still had power, which was not true.

"We're hearing from customers who are in Highland Park who looked at the map and didn't believe they saw their outage reflected accurately on the map," Dunn said.

Viewing Highland Park by ZIP code shows the region partially covered in red and yellow. That means that there are more than 1,000 customers affected by outages in the red region and about 501 to 1000 customers out in the yellow region.

prior power loses have had me prepared for this but I should have had more water and some fire wood too, hopefully everyone learns from this to have a back up plan because its likely to happen again in the future

Thank you. Imagine if the lighting in my kitchen didn't suck, and those tomatoes were bright red, and that salsa deep green.

Thanks, again. Once you get a feeling for the proper consistency of the dough, you can knock out a batch in fifteen minutes plus resting time, and it is well worth it. They look, feel, and taste so much better store-bought tortillas.

Edit: vv Thanks, man.

Hand-breaded chicken breast strip on a homemade pretzel roll with homemade honey mustard and homemade colseslaw. I went too hard on the celery seed for the coleslaw. The bun and the chicken strip were A++.
